My T tells me that I need to learn to ask for what I need. What I really need from her is a hug, or holding my hand at times. Not a lot of physical contact, but at least some gesture when I am having a difficult moment in therapy.

I am to see her next week and I know she will ask me to express what I need. I am terrified to tell her this! I don't want to feel rejected or make a fool out of myself. That would make things worse.

This is so hard for me. I am not sure how to handle it. Every time I think about it, I start to cry.
